Received: February 28, 2019; Published: March 06, 2019 Abstract Management of patients with acute myocardial infarction is a great challenge to the physicians nowadays. Multiple clinical trials which included thousands of patients undergoing thrombolytic therapy have demonstrated a substantial improvement in mortality. setting. Thrombolytics act to remove the thrombus that cause myocardial ischemia and restores the coronary circulation and also Thrombolytic therapy exhibits a proven mortality benefit and it requires no specialized equipment and is available in any emergency prevent formation of new clots. The present review describes the analytical methods existing for the determination of Thrombolytics the disadvantages of the existing methods. in the literature. This review helps the authors to establish new analytical techniques after a keen verification of the advantages and Keywords: HPLC; Spectrophotometry; LC-MS; TLC; HPTLC Introduction lysine), Tranexamic acid (trans-4- amino methyl-cyclo hexane Thrombolytics are also known as plasminogen activators and carboxylic acid). Streptokinase combines with proactivator [1]. The plasminogen forms plasmin. Plasmin is plasminogen and forms a complex. This complex act as a catalyst for conversion of plasminogen to active plasmin and this plasmin fibrinolytic drugs molecules. The tissue plasminogen activator is the serine protease causes rapid lysis of the clot, plasmin also acts as a catalyst for a proteolytic enzyme which breaks the crosslink between fibrin which is found on the endothelial cells lining blood vessels and they involved in the breakdown of blood clots. Thrombolytics are clotting factor. Urokinase is an enzyme that converts plasminogen used to treat the thromboembolic clot which tends to platelet to active plasmin which is not clot specific but can cause a [2]. The thrombolytic agents are converted into generalized lysis when administered through intravenus route. and fibrin rich Alteplase is a tissue plasminogen activator. It is an enzyme and thromboembolic that resulting in clot lysis. Thrombolytic therapy is native plasminogen to plasmin, which hydrolyses the fibrin of allows fibrin enhanced conversion of plasminogen to active to improve pulmonary artery pressure, arteriovenous, oxygenation, plasmin in the absence of fibrin. It enters the systemic circulation pulmonary perfusion and echo cardio graphic assessment [3,4]. and binds to fibrin in thrombus and converts plasminogen to proteolysis. Reteplase is a recombinant human tissue plasminogen Thrombolytics act to remove the thrombus that cause myocardial plasmin followed by activated fibrinolysis and limited systemic ischemia and restores the coronary circulation and also prevent [8]. Tenecteplase is a mutant form of tissue plasminogen activator formation of new clots. Drugs used for this treatment include activator, less fibrin specific than tissue plasminogen activator Streptokinase, Alteplase, Reteplase, Tenecteplase, Anistreplase [5]. plasminogen activator. Aminocaproic acid and tranexamic acid with a longer duration of action and more specific than tissue History plasminogen to active plasmin. Aprotinin is a serine protease inhibit fibrinolysis by competitive inhibition of conversion of (4-cyclo hexyl pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid), Urokinase 3- inhibitor [6-9]. In the present review the authors have gathered Thrombolytics may be classified as Fibrinolytics (Streptokinase the analytical methods established so far in the literature for the determination of the above listed anti-gout drugs. The chemical [4-chloro-1-(diamino methylidene amino) isoquinolin-7-yl] Aminocaproic acid (derivative and analogue of the amino acid benzoic acid), Alteplase, Reteplase), Anti-fibrinolytics (Aprotinin, structures of these drugs were shown in figure 1.
